The image shows an elevated perspective of a crowded riverside city. The horizon line is near the top edge, with rooftops meeting a faint skyline. Detailed line work and etching techniques are used to depict buildings and river scenes. The color palette is monochromatic, primarily black and white. Buildings and a cliffside have firm lines, while the river and city feature small boats and densely packed buildings. In the distance, smoke rises from chimneys into the light sky.
